Thanks for your checking.  I'm not sure what you mean with slow.  I
tried the function for a file in a directory with 60 .tex files (260
files total) and the completion was almost without any delay (and my HD
setup is not fast).

I'm afraid there is not much checking; the argument of interest is
PREDICATE for Emacs and HISTORY for XEmacs (IIRC).  I'm happy as long as
the function does not throw an error on XEmacs.

Reg. scaling images, you could try to load your images in Emacs with
ImageMagick support; I think it can scale[1].

Best, Arash
